New restaurant, Velomar.

[Sparky]

Amazing! Never thought the whereabouts of a new burger and pizza joint would create such entertaining debate!

It's been a long, long winter Jonsey and until the tourist season starts we have to entertain ourselves while we wait for holiday reports .

was he Chinese not Japanese?

Hi Tone I thought Chinese but my husband corrected me and said he was Japanese

Well, hopefully, someone can throw a "chink" of light on this before we " Nippon " to another subject.

If anyone knows for sure, perhaps they can leave a " Massage in a bottle "

It is the same people that run Spira BarGrill

When we visited in Jan, we saw that an apt on Pine Walk, just by the fig tree with tabby cat restaurant was having a complete refurbishment..ie..gutted inside. We were particularly interested as we had stayed in the apt a few years ago. It had grey railings round it, & we felt 'fenced in' Additionally the place was actually rather creepy at night!! Maybe this is 'the' one!!!!

I think you might be right. We were out over the New Year and there was a ground floor apartment in that area totally gutted with steel girders everywhere. Bet that's it?! Lorenzo is very quiet re this. Must be close to her place?!

Yes, the massage man was definitely Japanese. He made us laugh due to his home made sign saying he was visiting from Japan but never left!

May the enigma continue.........

Chelseadons has just got back from THE 'big match' and not very happy at all




"Oh dear, how sad, never mind.............!"

That one is in Pollensa town

They have renovated the ground floor apartment in number 7, and open in next weeks

Looks like he has now, and they've turned his house into a pizza restaurant

Interesting to hear it's the same owners as Spira as that is a fab restaurant. No fast food, reheated frozen rubbish served there. Hopefully this new place will be of the same quality. I bet Little Italy are worried, although competition should be a good thing for us punters

 

[Sparky]

Yes i agree Debz, so Grupo Obris now have Spira, La Pena in the town and now Velomar in the port, they must be doing something right .

That puts a whole new slant on the debate

We love Spira too so this sounds really quite encouraging. We have also eaten at Obris which in fairness wasn't as good as Spira - but this will definitely be somewhere we would want to try. I hope no more pizza places open though - how much pizza can anyone eat? And this is Mallorca for heaven's sake - why would you not want to eat Mallorcan cuisine?

Hi all. Sorry not to post earlier. Am pretty shattered after getting up for flight at 4am. Anyway Yes there is building work going on at the place next door to Balada del Agua del Mar (with the fig tree). No sign up yet but looks like it's the new Velomar. Will try & take a photo tomorrow.

The much missed "massage man" is called Yuki, and he hailed from Tokyo.

It was quite a long visit that he had. I guess "Fortnight" and "Four years" sound very similar when you say them quickly.

Mind you, sitting on the beach, in the shade of the pines does take some beating as a workplace.

As promised here's a photo of the new restaurant and progress so far!

 

[Sparky]

Thank you Zelda now i can visualize exactly where it is .

 

[lovemallorca]

Nice location. I think that they will do well on take-away business as that stretch of beach is always busy.

The new pinetrees are looking nice along that section now too. Just a few years ago they were little, insignicant things, and I wondered if they would ever take.

The bush in the foreground looks in need of a little water though.

 

[Tone]

Any news regarding this restaurant?

 

[marilyn]

Still not open. It looks nearly complete. There was someone working on the outside lastvFriday.

 

[Tone]

They say they hope to open it in the last days of this month. They have had some delays with the works of renovation.
